Call me crazy, but I can't stop making tiny patchwork! I recently came across a short sew along on the Temecula Quilt Company blog, for the 12 days of Christmas. The blocks are TINY. They finish at 2 1/4". Above I put them next to one of my Farm Girl Vintage blocks, which is a 6" finished block. I thought I could use up some random charm squares that I had lying around, but now I have scraps from those 5" squares! That's how little fabric is needed for these blocks. Of course I have 100 other things that I should be working on, but it was a fun little diversion.
I'm having a heck of a time taking pictures lately. It's been so dark out that all of the pictures are turning out terrible. I grabbed another picture of one of the wreath ornaments I made that I showed last week. There are a lot of shadows, but now you can see it all finished. I really enjoyed making these and I think they look really neat. The back looks exactly the same as the front, but without the bow. The pattern is by Betz White and is sold on Etsy as a downloadable pattern. I wanted to use the same silvery ribbon that she used, but I bought 1/8" wide ribbon instead of 1/4". It came out way too small, so I had to use what I had on hand, which was white.

Cute wreath! I am loving tiny also but using most of them for mug rugs! Yours look awesome.
Those tiny blocks are so cute! I can see how they could be quite addictive. And your wreath is also very pretty. Great idea for ornaments. So festive! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Lovely post - the little wreath is stunning!
